23 April 19

Methinks I shall celebrate William Shakespeare's birthday by adorning myself with a tie not worn for yea nearly two sun-cycles. He was born on this date in 1564 and died around the same date in 1616. The Chicago Shakespeare Theater sponsors "Talk Like Shakespeare Day" every 23 April. He coined or adapted thousands of words with new meanings, including one I just learned today: "congreeing," to mean "agreeing with itself, in all its parts." Thus far today my body congreeth well, forsoooth.
